Hi Guys,
I recently 'caught up to' and 'passed' one of the British Transport Police Vans with the roof mounted cameras. I was in a totally other place, god knows how I never seen it! Anyway, can these vans catch you speeding whilst they're in motion too? Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. JD |

AFAIK these are used for monitoring railway crossings and any incidents on the transport network

Any police officer can give evidence that you were exceeding the speed limit. A camera is not necessary.

AFAIK these are used for monitoring railway crossings and any incidents on the transport network I had thought that too. Although when you know you're in the wrong, that seed of doubt always creeps in; 'Could that camera be in operation?' 'Does it check for speed whilst in motion?' Thanks for the quick response though! |

Well no, one officer gives evidence, but it needs corroboration either from a device or another officer to convict.

The BTP camera vans are used to monitor/provide evidence for breach of level crossing regulations i.e. red light offences at the crossings.
Amazingly, despite being very obvious, the get quite a few every year. -------------------- The accident was caused by cockpit thrombosis - a dangerous clot between seatback and steering wheel ...
